Hincapie Path section of the Swamp Rabbit Trail

Hincapie Path signReedy River South
Bicyclist on the Hincapie PathThis 1.5-mile, $2 million walking, running, bicycling, & skating trail is a continuation of a regional greenway system, called the Swamp Rabbit Trail, along the Reedy River corridor. The Reedy River is a regional watershed that links several significant destinations throughout the City, County, and Upstate.

The greenway connects with Cleveland Park, Falls Park, Downtown Greenville, Cleveland St. YMCA, Greenville Tech, and several residential neighborhoods.

The 13’-wide trail consists of 8’ of asphalt and 5’ of specially designed rubberized running trail surface.  Two (2) 100’ long Pedestrian Bridges offer long views along the Reedy River. Trail spurs reach beyond the Reedy River and will create multiple access points to the trail from existing neighborhoods. The trail was completed in October of 2008.

What's Next: Greenville Tech to Pleasantburg Drive
The next phase of construction will be one mile of Swamp Rabbit Trail between Greenville Tech and Pleasantburg Drive. This greenway will reach Pleasantburg Drive, making it accessible for residents of the Parkins Mill and Gower neighborhoods, as well as the Greenville Tech Campus, Sara Collins Elementary, and several churches. This section will link with the Hincapie Path, Cleveland Park, Falls Park and downtown. Completion is expected by 2009.

Eventually, the City and County will partner on continuing the Swamp Rabbit Trail south to Lake Conestee, the Municipal Stadium, and Wenwood Soccer Complex.

The expected completion date for the greenway between Greenville Tech and Lake Conestee is 2012. When complete, the Swamps Rabbit Trail will be a +20-mile greenway that connects Travelers Rest to Lake Conestee, eventually tying into greenway networks in Simpsonville & Fountain Inn.
